gurugeorge Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 So I just got an email from Bioware stating I was caught using an "exploit". Um...the valor thing was a bug on your behalf, I was just playing the game like you told me to. They then told me they will take action to reverse the effect of the exploit?! So I log in and I see my valor rank go from Battlemaster down to Gladiator ... I'm sorry but why are you punishing me for something that was your fault? Ah the tears - delicious!

Fixiooo Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) If you didn't give it back you could expect a house call from the Police or the Bank... see atm's all have cameras and yes that would still be considered theft.. Not a good a good example to help your case. I dont have a case. I wasn't even part of the whole exploiting thing on Ilum. I hate Ilum with a passion. It's a corked up idea of forced world PvP. Just pointing out people who yell "Yeah yeah, serves you right huzzahh! pewpew justice!" are a bunch of hypocrits because they were on the wrong side of things. In this case, Republic whimps.

Sai-to Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Meh, even if the OP is lying (which is probably the case), it's still good to talk about. BW should roll back the Valor gains from people who were in the spawn camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skaol-dirtyd Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) Retail store loses a bunch of money giving away products to people with a stack of coupons because no limitations were stated on the coupon. True ... but those people you see on those shows are less than 1% of consumers and you know what they are ruining coupons for the rest of us. Stores are now not accepting coupons they used to and putting self imposed limits on the number of coupons they will accept. So just like in the gaming world that small percentage of people that take advantage of (exploit) a loop hole end up hurting the masses... See a similarity there?

Sindorin Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Obviously the OP exploited and is disgruntled his valor got rolled back. Justice served, nothing else to add. Except: umadbro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalfear Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 You admit you knew was a bug but exploited it anyways! Be glad they didnt out right ban you But I suspect the op just mad cause he lacks the ability to gain the rank with out the exploit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazeh Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Just pointing out people who yell "Yeah yeah, serves you right huzzahh! pewpew justice!" are a bunch of hypocrits because they were on the wrong side of things. In this case, Republic whimps. They'd only be hypocrites if they were to use an exploit to gain an advantage, get caught and then complain about it. If on the other hand they were to just accept their punishment then there'd be nothing hypocritical about pointing out that it serves people right to get punished. Personally I might have used the exploit if I was in the position to do so or I might have not, but if I had and I'd been caught then i'd expect to get punished for it and wouldn't complain about it being 'unfair' or someone else's fault.

BrettHunter Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I was in Ilum before they announced that people should avoid it....I completely followed the rules as Bioware stated.. and yet I still get punished? What kind of justice is this? The best kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont take this the wrong way, but id like to see a screenshot as proof before I believe this.

Improv- Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Good you deserved it. You clearly knew it was an exploit. Bioware is handling this well and they should make an official post about it so people can stop asking about roll backs since it's happening.

God, don't ban this guy, he's the most hilarious thing I've read all week! I grind my way to up to Battlemaster the ugly way. I drop from WZ's mostly against 10s and 20's. I play on a server where Imps outnumber us 15 to 1 or more. But because there were 12 of us, and 97 of you, *we* are the wimps? Got a 50 Imp side too. After I couldn't -- literally -- get up off the ground for 20 minutes straight, I logged onto to that toon and -- instead of being a git and dashing off to Ilum to hammer outnumbered people being slaughtered like pigs -- I ran some new players through BT nice and slow so they could enjoy the awesome and helped a guy with his class story. Just because you are a baddie scrub who needs 86 other people to kill one of me doesn't mean I'm going to lower myself to your level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you use a mechanic in game that is unintended (regardless how it got there), they can do anything they want to you, up to and including bansticking you. Read your ToS. You knew you were taking advantage of a bug, so get over yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andryah Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 That kind of justice is this? That would be near perfect justice. Did you tell your Mom, maybe she can make a few calls, get your valor restored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
